I want to testify as to how amazing this converter is. If you are using any other Help authoring system, it's worth converting to "Help & Manual" just for the time it will save you.
If you are already a customer, this fantastic tool confirms you made the right decision.
QtHelpConverter simply reads your .CHM file, and cranks out a .QCH. So you still need a Help authoring tool like H&M to create the .CHM.
To display your .QCH file with Qt Assistant is a bit convoluted: This can be done manually by starting Qt Assistant, opening the Edit|Preferences dialog and navigating to the Documentation tab page. Then click the Add... button, select a Qt compressed help file (*.qch) and press Open. (This is Qt's problem, not Help & Manual.

there are a few custom language documentations that are only in chm format, even in Linux. I remember fondly having a nice .chm documentation for a few apis that didn't have anything other than a website for docs and i needed it to be offline, even in Linux.
